Obi’s VHLM Team Rankings (1000+ words)

[atw2592 286]

For Obi Adesanya’s first point task, I will break down the teams I would most want to be drafted by. Being out of the VHL for probably about 10 years, I have no recollection of who is good or bad and remember hardly any GM’s, so this breakdown will be based off of location and team names. Here we go.

 

12. Mississauga Hounds:
While I’ve always wanted to visit Canada, I don’t know where Mississauga is and I would probably get lost trying to find it. I am too lazy to look at a map of Canada as I am typing this on my phone and don’t want to get out of the word counter. I am guessing it is somewhere in the coldest part of Canada, and because I am from Africa I don’t think that would be very fun. The Hounds aren’t a bad team name, but I’m more of an aquatic animal person.

 

11. Saskatoon Wild:
Another Canadian team, and I am not a fan of the Minnesota Wild as I grew up a Blackhawks fan so they will get no team name points. Saskatoon is kind of a cool name for a city, but again, have no idea where it is in Canada.

 

10. Ottawa Lynx:
I believe this was the team I was most recently drafted by when I was in the league a long time ago. I do remember we weren’t very good, but that’s not why I have them ranked 10th. I’d rather play for a team I haven’t played for before and preferably not somewhere in Canada, again due to the weather. Lynx are pretty bad ass, though.

 

9. Yukon Rush:
Is Yukon in Canada as well? Regardless, it sounds cold. I really need to brush up on my geography, this is quite embarrassing. Rush is the name of a Canadian band too, not sure why I put them 9th when they probably should have been 12th. I promise I don’t dislike Canada, just trying to put myself in the persona of an African hockey prospect here.

 

8. Halifax 21st:
My favorite hockey movie is Goon, which automatically gives Halifax a bump. However, it is still in Canada and I remember how cold it looked in the movie. And I would have had Halifax in my top 3 if it’s weren’t for the 21st team name. I mean, what is that all about? There are only 6 guys on the ice at a time in hockey. It’s gotta be something to do with the area that I am unaware of.

 

7. Minnesota Storm:
Minnesota wouldn’t be the worst place in US to play, but definitely the coldest and did I mention I highly dislike the cold?? Seems odd that I am a hockey player who can’t stand cold weather. Also, there aren’t many storms in Minnesota, are there? I always thought storms were more prevalent in the middle of the Midwest. But what do I know? I’m from Africa for Christ’s sake.

 

6. Philadelphia Reapers:
Now we’re starting to get to the winners. Philadelphia would be pretty fun to start my career. The Steelers are usually good and I would like to take in some NFL football on Sunday’s when we aren’t playing. I could be friends with JuJu Smith-Schuster, too. We could play video games together, that would be sweet. Also the Reapers are a dope team name. Trying to murder some teams out here.

 

5. San Diego Marlins:
The team name kind of makes me think of baseball, and I am not a huge baseball fan. I don’t really understand it, and why the hell does everyone just stand there for 90% of the game? Where’s the fun in that. San Diego I’ve heard is a fun time though. Not only is the weather nice but it’s on the coast and I could get in some beach time on off days. Marlins are a sweet animal too, as I mentioned before I am a big fan of aquatic creatures. Probably could be in the top 3, but sometimes tough decisions have to be made.

 

4. Miami Marauders:
I could really see myself tearing up the ice in Miami. I have always felt like Miami needed a hockey team and I wouldn’t want to let this city down if I am selected by the Marauders. Also, what a bad ass name, am I right? Makes me want to go marauding around the ice taking people out, even though I’m a scoring forward. I also remember this being a team name in an old football game on Yahoo! Games back in the day. That was a fun game.

 

3. Mexico City Kings:
Mexico would also be a fun place to play hockey, even more so than Houston, which made my top 2. You’ll hear about why they’re ahead in a second. I’ve always wanted to visit Mexico and even got my passport a while back, but just never pulled the trigger. I’d like to give the hockey fans in Mexico something to watch. Also, there’s nothing much more powerful than a King.

 

2. Houston Bulls:
We have arrived at the last two teams and the Bulls sit at number two. Growing up, I was a huge Chicago Bulls fan and Michael Jordan was my favorite athlete, therefore I’d love to represent the Bulls in the VHLM and bring them to the promise land, given that they aren’t currently there already. Houston is whatever, Texas has no property tax I believe so it’d be financially smart to live there as well.

1. Las Vegas Aces:
The Aces are my first choice to be drafted by because it combines my two favorite activities: partying and gambling. Yes, I know my player is only 18 years old, but I am very mature for my age and have a fake ID. There’s nothing more exhilarating than putting your whole signing bonus on the Blackhawks to win the game on a random Tuesday. Las Vegas would also be the best city in America to live, the city that never sleeps. Name a better situation for an 18 year old hockey star with the Golden Knights playing in the same arena (assuming VHLM teams play in the same arenas as NHL teams, of course), I couldn’t. As for the team name, show me some Aces at the poker table on off days. What a great time. Let’s go Aces!
